Honestly naming conventions in the AI world have been appalling regardless of the company
Anthropic:
Claude 1 Claude Instant 1 Claude 2 Claude Haiku 3 Claude Sonnet 3 Claude Opus 3 Claude Haiku 3.5 Claude Sonnet 3.5 Claude Sonnet 3.5v2
OpenAI:
GPT-3.5 GPT-4 GPT-4o-2024-08-06 GPT-4o GPT-4o-mini o1 o3-mini o1-mini
Fun times when you try to setup throughput provisioning.
GPT-3.5 GPT-4 GPT-4-turbo GPT-4o-2024-08-06 GPT-4o GPT-4o-mini o1-preview o1 (low) o1 (medium) o1 (high) o1-mini o3-mini (low) o3-mini (medium) o3-mini (high)
At this pace we are going to get to USB 3.2 Gen 1 real fast.
Imagine if it went like this:
Mnemonics: m(ini), r(easoning), t(echnical)
Claude 3m
Claude 3mr
Claude 3mt
Claude 3mtr
Claude 3r
Claude 3t
Claude 3trFrom what I understand GPT-4o will map to the most recent generated model so it will change over time. The models with the date appended will not change over time.
OpenAI is crazy. There may be a day when we might have o5 that is reasoning and 5o that is not, and where they belong to different generations too, snd where "o" meant "Omni" despite o1-o3 not being audiovisual anymore like 4o.
Anthropic crazy too. Sonnets and Haikus, just why... and a 3.5 Sonnet that was released in October that was better than 3.5 Sonnet. (Not a typo) And no one knows why there never was a 3.5 Opus.
If you read between the lines it's been pretty clear. The top labs are keeping the top models in house and use them to train the next generation (either SotA or faster/cheaper etc).
